Only Vice President Elena Kondratyuk will be able to hold parliamentary sessions next week.

The first vice president of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, fell ill with coronavirus. He announced it on Thursday, November 12, on his Facebook page.

“The positive attitude has changed with a positive test. Neither the mask, which I actually took off since March, nor the gloves, nor the disinfection have been put away. Probably, this test also has to pass. Therefore, I see myself forced to be temporarily off-duty, “Stefanchuk wrote.

By the way, he is the second person in the Presidency of Parliament, who went on sick leave due to the coronavirus. On the eve of the disease, said the speaker of parliament Dmitry Razumkov.

Now only Vice President Elena Kondratyuk will be able to lead the Rada meetings next plenary week.

Today it was reported that one in six deputies is sick with COVID-19 in the Rada. In total, since the beginning of the epidemic, 75 popular deputies and 77 employees of the parliamentary apparatus have been infected with the coronavirus.
